Hi there, I am a first time poster. I think I may have
developed MS and I would like some opinions regarding other peoples symptoms. I
am a 35 year old male and have symptoms for some time.
·
Great Grandfather on mothers side had MS
·
Mother, grandmother and aunt has auto-immune
disease
·
I got my blood done and Dr said I have high
auto-immune number and high CK number
·
Depression, Anxiety, PTSD
·
Fatgue, have to nap midday
·
Back injury in 2009 lower back L5-S1
·
Chronic pain from lower back, cannot lift
anything.
·
Tingling in left leg
·
Weakness legs/kness with some lost of balance
·
Spasm in hands,
arm, legs, torso (rarely)
·
Erectile dysfunction/no sex drive
·
Have always suffered over-heating, sweat all the
time from head
·
Possible Epstein-Barr Virus (chronic tonsillitis,
had chickenpox, cold sores, strep throat)
·
Got a cold/flu vires and I lost smell and taste
My DR referred me to a
neurologist. Neurologist sent me for MRI. Went to Family DR and he said I have
spots (lesions) in my brain and I need to go back to the neurologist. Have an
appointment with Neurologist on Thursday.
I googled spot in my brain and it
came up as MS. I have had all these symptoms prior to me looking into MS, but
now it makes sense.
Honestly, I am freaking out. My
finance left me two months ago because I have too many ‘issues’ and no sex. I
feel like crap about myself and I am now alone to deal with this.
Any info or help would be great
appreciated.
Mark
